Warrener - 24 GP
Commodore - 20 GP
Montador - 20 GP
Gauthier - 6 GP
Lydman - 6 Go
Evans - 2 GP
Having one more d for depth would have been nice. Evans played two games but had so little ice time I'm not sure you can even say he played.

yeah the real need was during the 2 Brennan Evans games, but we survived that round anyhow. would he have helped in the finals? Maybe. Lydman was back for the last 3 games- Sutter wasn't enamoured I don't think (maybe compounded by the injury that he was recovering from)
could we have won game 3 (the 1-0 loss with the early 5 on 3 goal), or the one goal losses in 6 or 7 with a rookie Phaneuf in lieu of one of the Doors? hard to know
